Hi,<\/p>\n
I apologize but I accidentally posted the assignment on my team blog instead of my own blog. Here’s the link to on my team’s blog for my reflection as evidence that I posted on time: https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/engl30199c2022w2\/2023\/03\/17\/unit-2-reflection\/<\/p>\n
The reflection posted here is the exact same<\/p>\n
LinkedIn<\/p>\n
I have used LinkedIn aimlessly before and didn\u2019t accomplish notable results from it. After doing this task though, I know where I went wrong and feel more comfortable creating a good LinkedIn profile. Each of the best practices I researched has different uses. For example, completing your profile can be used to attract recruiters since completed profiles show your profile more in the search algorithm. Whereas cold messaging people and joining LinkedIn groups can be used to expand your network to find jobs in the hidden job market.<\/p>\n

Formal Report<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve never written a formal report before, so I struggled immensely thinking of an idea for my formal report. It was hard to find the right balance of feasibility, familiarity, and personal interest. An example of feasibility would be knowing that your primary sources will include interviewing people that you have to know will be willing to partake in the interview.<\/p>\n

I eventually settled for a research topic on \u2018Strategies to make meetings more effective\u2019. However, this topic didn\u2019t address someone of authority so I had to redo my whole proposal and change it to \u2018Strategies to make meetings more effective in a tech company I used to work at\u2019. I have some concerns regarding maintaining the anonymity of the company I worked at since I don\u2019t want to criticize a company\u2019s meeting practices as it\u2019s controversial.<\/p>\n

Peer Review<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve learned to use real-life examples when explaining a concept. In Aman\u2019s proposal of e-scooters on campus, he used examples such as Kelowna and the e-scooter company Lime which I thought was a stellar comparison. I also notice that a lot of proposals on my team\u2019s writing forum contained unnecessary wording and phrasing that could be removed and the proposal would still be understood so I want to try to do that to make my writing more concise.<\/p>\n
